Replying To S1234:  "No exsuces here just stating the facts . London is a poetential bannana skin match . Also if we do beat the Rossies we will have to play Galway in final hardly a walk in the park ."
I thought with Andy at the helm, a good backroom team and players coming back that wouldn't play under the previous management there would be a bit more optimism about Mayo. If Mayo have problems with London well.............

Poor Ulster final but one things for certain, Loughrea won't beat that Derry team. Serious workrate

Slaughtneil almost bet Sarfields last winter in the allireland semi, losing 18-17. They'll be hoping to go one better a year later, and certainly make a final. Loughrea will be hoping the same of course.

They are a super fit team that's for sure.

If Loughrea heads are not fully tuned in they will sent packing.

I remember a cracking drawn match between St Thomas & Loughgiel Shamrocks back in 2013.

Ulster senior club hurling is no joke.

Good defending by that Slaughtneil back line and they have good athleticism around the field but you'd expect Loughrea will be able to hurl around them and will have too many scoring options for them.

In sport I dont think you can call anything is"certain" really before it happens. Probably some Loughrea fans will feel "certain" they will win the semi final but they would be deluded too. Loughrea are a team that are usually known for their workrate too so they have a capability to match Slaughteil in that department. I imagine Loughrea will be favourites for it but a Slaughteil win certainly wouldnt surprise me.

Moycullen should be kicking themselves some horrible decision making especially in second half

As I said to fella backing Cooke motm was crazy his introduction did not help Moycullen O'Connor was a big loss

Some of shooting was kamikaze

Kelly works well going forward from 6 but defensively is not a good option I still don't know his best position as good as he is

Goalie as we have said is an issue all year

A lot of nonsense spoke about inter county abilities of some of their team

On today showing Carroll wouldn't be making Galway panel

You're talking about Carroll the goalie, I assume.

Certainly Ben Carroll and no11 Hand displayed forward skills all through that this Moycullen outfit just do not possess. Moycullen were a better watch some years back imo. They're big (bigger than Brigids anyway), but a bit slow and predictable these days, especially going forward, relying on Cooke to bail them out with 2pointers, but that tactic failed in a big way today. Could still have won that, but missed too many chances in the first half, and put too many eggs in the Cooke 2pointer basket after HT, and none of those hatched on the day.

Midfield gave Moycullen the platform to win as they won 25 of the 42 kick outs. It was the accuracy in front of the posts that won the game for Brigids and lost it for Moycullen. Moycullen 46% on their shooting and 60% for Brigids.

Think Cooke only got one shot off and he looked off balance taking it. Normally he scores 2 or 3 two pointers for Moycullen but Bridget's had him well covered around the arc. That said he also only played half the game. Without Cooke scoring, Moycullen need another scoring forward to step up and they don't have one really. If they still had Owen Gallagher they probably would have won that game. The tall Fionn McDonagh was a right handful for Bridget's but he's probably not going to swing over many points.
